Comment:

We spent probably 4 classes discussing politics. He also loves to talk about conspiracy theories. We had 3 papers the semester. But, we continued to add to one of them. There was no final. I enjoy writing and consider myself pretty good at it. Some classmates struggled because he is a tough grader. This class is for good writers. He can be rude.

Comment:

Overall he was a great instructor. His grading was tough but in the end it helped me learn what I needed to work on and my problem areas. He tended to get off topic but no big deal. Come to class, try your best, and be respectful and you will succeed .

Comment:

RSCH 1203 should be a pre-requisite to being admitted to the school, not a required class. In this class you learn how to send e-mails and create simple Power Point presentations.. really? He may disdain the class too, but being a belligerent to your students shouldn't be acceptable. Ever. Highly do not recommend.

Comment:

I thought this course was going to be a bit easier than what it was. Granted it wasn't what I would call extra difficult, but I felt as if the directions of some of the assignments were not clear, which was my only issue. However, I made A's on every assignment. Try it out !

Comment:

My initial email conversation with this professor was rude. I asked for a phone number because I did not understand his instructions. He said he does not give out his number. He is rude and blunt when answering questions. I am an online student working in Afghanistan with internet restrictions, he gave no allowances. Would not recommend him!!!

Comment:

Prof. Pegausch wants his students to succeed, to learn, to think. That being said, this is probably the hardest class I've taken at GPC. Due dates are during the week, expect A LOT of reading and writing - this was my life for the semester. However, the Prof. is honest, helpful - and has pushed me to be a better writer and student.

Professor Pegausch's class was great. He was very accomodating and responds quickly. As a student you are expected to remember everything you learned in your 1101 and 1102 class. This is a literature course, not composition.

Comment:

Intense semester. Be expected to work, there is no coddling. However, I learned a great deal from the class and am a better writer for it. Tough on grading but provides ample extra credit to keep your grade up. Good course to take if you really want to improve yourself, but if your just wanting the easy route may want to look elsewhere.

Comment:

If you're not willing to do the work, don't sign up for his class. He is a great professor that expects a lot out of his students...it's a college course, that's his job. I didn't always agree with my essay grades, but overall I give him an A+++. He is very lenient and understanding, always willing to help. He's blunt w/a smile. Thanks Professor :)

His class is hard, however he is a great professor. I know I am a better writer because of him. There are 3 essays 1 research paper and he gives extra credit. This class is not for the lazy at heart. You are going to do LOTS of reading WRITING, but he is always willing and available to help. Would I take him again...NOPE :)

Comment:

I took him both in class and online. He is tough but also is somewhat of a kidder. He picks on you but only because he is trying you make you think. Yes, is isn't always clear only because he is only trying to help you think for yourself. I felt very comfortable with him and would have taken him for all my English classes if he taught them all.

Comment:

I took the online class for summer 2011. You will have a lot of assignments to post throughout the semester. It is a lot. He will give you scores that are usually lower than you thought. You will know what to improve exactly but I don't want to talk about the score. He is helpful if you really want to do study English or major this field.

Comment:

His class is not easy. He is very pesky with MLA, grammar, punctuation and usage. There were three essays and one research paper. Most of his comments dealt with grammar and he would every now and then comment on the actual quality of the content. His comments may seem like a turn off, but he is only trying to help you become a better writer.

Comment:

He was the worst English Professor or professor ever. He acts like he is trying to help but his clarity is the problem. I ask him over and over what he is talking about and his solutions I still don't understand. If only I knew better than maybe I'll do better, referring to his class. DO NOT TAKE I WARN YOU!!!!!!

Online class. Is very hard class with lots of work. But he's really helpful and wants you to do well! I don't know why all these other comments say he's rude and stuff... but I thought he very helpful and understanding. He responds quickly to emails and gives good feedback. I do agree it's a hard class though with a lot of writing and reading work.

Online course. Uses abbreviations only he understands. Comments back to you very rudely. Ask questions, do not receive an actual answer. Explanations extremely hard to comprehend; he does not give much help. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!

online course, involves a lot of writing. Pay attention, ask questions, DO THE WORK. His comments are a bit offputing but he does want to help. Don't take this class if you don't have a lot of time to devote to it. I believe he is tough, I'm pretty sure he will also be fair. No slackers.

Always available to help. Even the hardest assignments are broken down in such a way you are almost guaranteed to do well if you put forth any effort.
